Tues 09-Dec: Film evening! City of Cars!
Our last Active Travel Cafe of the year will be a little different - we are screening filmmaker Sarah Chaundler’s award winning documentary, City of Cars (25 mins running time). The film is introduced by Chris Boardman and shows the devastating impact of road violence on families and communities; charts the high profile campaigning of activists hoping to create safer streets; and looks at potential solutions. Sarah will be with us to discuss the film. We won’t be recording this session so definitely one not to miss!
